    Hi chaps,
    I am new here and am looking forward to getting involved with one build that falls within the 250cc category, a Yamaha XS250 which I am building into a scrambler style bike.

    The second is a 1988 FZ400 (which I believe are very similar to the 250cc versions?). I found this on Facebook Marketplace for a grand total of £150.

    I had a whole raft of two stroke learner legal bikes in the 80s and always longed for an LC350. After seeing the prices have gone through the roof over the years, I settled for a very nicely Cafe Racer style XS400. This re ignited my passion for bikes again and the reason I now have two project bikes myself.

    Also, not wholly appropriate for this forum, but people may find my Renault Twizy a little quirky. Its chipped so a bit quicker than it should be and puts a big smile on my face :)
